“Take On Me” used a pencil-sketch animation and live-action mix called rotoscoping. Live-action footage is traced over frame by frame to give the characters that are drawn realistic movements. Around 3,000 frames were rotoscoped, taking 16 weeks to complete.
Studiobinder.com says, “Back in the day, animators would project live-action images onto a glass panel and then trace over that image. Today, rotoscoping is predominantly done on computers.”
“Rotoscoping in Star Wars is one of the most famous examples. In the first trilogy, actors held a matte propped up on a stick. Later, effect technicians traced over the matte to create the glowing lightsaber effect.”
